Understand Your VRA Strategies: Fertilizer, Fungicide, and Growth Regulation
Explain the logic behind the different application maps, so the farmer knows what is happening in the field.
1. Variable Fertilization (Sensor VRA)
Strategy: The sensor combines real-time data with satellite maps.
Logic: As a rule, higher biomass = lower fertilizer rate. This prevents lodging in strong areas and boosts the weaker areas.
Inverse Sensor VRA: Can be selected if you want to apply more to the strong areas.
2. Variable Fungicide Application
Strategy: Targeted control based on biomass.
Logic: Diseases often thrive in dense growth. Therefore: Higher biomass = higher fungicide rate.
3. Growth Regulation (PGR)
Strategy: Prevent lodging and strengthen the crop.
Logic: Higher biomass = higher rate. You apply the most growth regulator where the crop is densest and strongest to prevent it from lodging.
Note: If the sensor loses visibility (dust/backlight), it automatically switches to satellite maps to ensure continued operation of the sensor.
